The apparatus and method of the present invention provides increased security and efficiency in entering passwords for various web sites on an intranet or the Internet. The first time a message requesting a password is received from an intranet web site, the user name and password are recorded in volatile memory. On subsequent password requests from the same or any other intranet web site, the recorded user name and password are transmitted to the requesting web site without prompting the user. When the network session ends, the recorded data is erased or lost. Similarly, the first time a message requesting a password is received from an Internet web site, the user name and password are recorded on a secure server. On subsequent password requests from the same web site, the recorded user name and password may be retrieved from the secure server and transmitted to the requesting web site without prompting the user. |
